The listings for audiobooks on many sites are so lacking in detail that they don't even list the duration, so it took me ages to find a site with the unabridged version. The unabridged version isn't available from Audible and is difficult to find elsewhere, particularly because this one isn't labelled as abridged. Then I looked at the reviews and discovered that this is the abridged version. About 45 mins in I realised that the story seemed to be moving very fast. I made the mistake of buying this version and was glad of Audible's return policy. As the days rolled by, the fridge grew into a personality in its own right, developing its own identity and bringing people together wherever it went.ĭon't buy this version, find the unabridged one.
And unexpectedly, the fridge itself became a momentary focus for the people of Ireland. In their month of madness, Tony and his fridge met a real prince and a bogus one they surfed together and entered a bachelor festival the fridge was christened and one of the pair had sex without the other knowing. Here is his record of the unlikely pair's fortunes as they made their way from Dublin to Donegal, from Sligo through Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, Wicklow, and back again to Dublin. Only in the magical land of Ireland could such a notion lead to such fruitful adventure. Joined by his trusty travelling companion-cum-domestic appliance, he found himself in the midst of a remarkable adventure, at times emotional, at times inspirational, but more often than not, downright silly.
Have you ever made a drunken bet? Worse, still, have you ever tried to win one? In attempting to hitchhike round Ireland with a fridge, Tony Hawks did both, and his foolhardiness led him to one of the best experiences of his life.
